Taking Photos isn't as easy as I would have thought

I think I came into this class believing that I would be great at this. But I am now realizing that its not as easy as just point and shot. I really need to up the artistic value. After looking at everyone's shots I see that I am not being creative enough! I am excited by the challenge and I will make this happen. This weekend we are going to be making self-portraits with a scanner, but I may just give myself a little extra homework and try and take a few shots that I can be really proud of. We shall see how this goes and who knows maybe I'll even post them if I am really happy with them!
